That's a good point. I think we took a look at some point to generate
JSON Schema from voluptuous, but we didn't continue since we were not
sure there were a use case. Though that might be possible I imagine if
somebody asks at some point.

(or we could also rewrite the few schemas we have to JSON Schema since
there not tight to the WSGI framework anyway)
